Buying contracts are documents that work for both local and foreign clients. The reason why letters of intent to purchase a property do not work well in Medellin is that it leaves the property out of the market and for a local seller it does not guarantee that the purchase will be made.  That is why the sale contract is signed and it has penalties clauses if the buyer or seller withdraws from the business without a valid explanation, the penalty is usually between 10 and 20% of the value of the business.
